Wiring and Connections
HDMI Cables
The AC-EXO-X-KIT uses the standard 19-pin HDMI female connector ports for the inputs and outputs.
Note:
Ensure all HDMI cables and devices can support the signal being sent. For maximum
performance, an Ultra-High Speed HDMI cable rated for 48Gbps will be more than
sufficient to satisfy signal transport if every device in the system can handle the signal.
Tip:
Ensure your HDMI cable is the correct length. The current HDMI specification calls for
cables to be between 2 to 10 meters (6.6 to 33 feet). Smaller wire cables may be unable to
transmit higher bandwidth signals like 4K60 over distances of even 5 meters (16 feet).
USB Ports
Both the transmitter and receiver each have one USB Type C port that functions as both a secondary
power input as well as a servicing port for AVPro Edge technical assistance in the event of testing and
troubleshooting.
RS-232 Wiring
Serial control connections are made using the provided 3-pin terminal block connector. The wire slips
into the hole and locks with a screw located at the top of the connector.
Wiring for this port uses a 3-pin terminal block connector to DB9, where only pins 2, 3, and 5 are used.
If the control devices do not have a DB9 port, a USB to DB9 adapter may be required.
For RS-232 control, use a null modem serial cable adapter and set the serial communications to:
Baud: 57600, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no handshaking. Add a carriage return (Enter key) after
each command when using direct commands. The unified ASCII command list can be located here.
IR Wiring
IR connections are made using the provided 3.5mm IR Emitter and IR Eye (receiver.

(TS) IR Emitter
Page 14 of 21
AC-EXO-X-KIT User Manual
IR can be used in three ways:
1 From Rack (Control System Direct): Connect a 3.5mm mono jack (TS) cable into an emitter port of
any control system directly into the
I-PASS
port on the transmitter to pass IR signals directly
to the remote end.
2 From Rack (Using IR-Eye): Connect the provided IR receiver eye cable into the
IR-EYE
port of the
transmitter to pass infrared signals generated from a device or IR remote.
3 From Remote End: Connect the provided IR receiver eye cable into the
IR OUT
port on the
receiver in order to send IR signals back to the rack and out of the transmitter’s
IR OUT
port
with an emitter.
Power Connections
Fiber optic cables do not carry an electrical current and cannot supply power from one unit to
another. Here are some recommended solutions to power both units.
First, power one unit with the provided 48V power supply. Next, power the other unit using one of the
following options listed below:
1 USB charger brick to USB-C input
2 Power output to power input with 18-2 cable*
3 Sink (TV or AVR) USB-A port to USB-C input
*18 AWG 2 conductors cable is not supplied
Note: The AC-EXO-X-KIT must be powered from both units in order for complete operation.

AC-EXO-X-KIT User Manual
Fiber Optic Cables
Single mode fiber is typically used for “long hauls”, or long distance buried cabling i.e., used by
telecommunication companies for country-wide distribution. Single mode fiber should be used in
applications over 1000 feet (300 meters).
Multimode fiber is commonly seen in the professional/custom electronics sector, with shorter runs of
up to 1000 feet (300 meters). Multimode fiber is used in both residential and commercial applications
for on-premise infrastructure.
Types of Fiber
Simplex A single strand of fiber optic cable, comes in a single jacket.
Duplex Two strands of fiber optic cable, comes in a dual, fused jacket.
6-Strain Six strands of fiber, comes in a single jacket, individual strands are color coded.
12-Strain 12 strands of fiber, comes in a single jacket, individual strands are color coded.
OM Grades
OM (Optical Multimode) grades only apply to multimode fiber. The grade is determined by the
clarity of the glass.
OM2 500Mhz, typically comes in an orange jacket.
OM3 2000Mhz, typically comes in an aqua blue jacket. Most common grade of fiber.
OM4 4700Mhz, typically comes in a violet or aqua blue jacket.
Note: For maximum performance, AVPro Edge recommends using OM3 Cleerline SFF™ fiber.
Connector Types
LC (Lucent Connector)
Universal connector, most commonly seen in networking. Can be terminated in the field, with
some connectors able to support more than one strand.
Note:
Ensure the fiber is terminated with LC connectors.
Page 16 of 21
AC-EXO-X-KIT User Manual
Installation
General Application
1 Connect the 48V power supply to
Power In
port on either the transmitter or receiver, then
power the other using one of the options listed in the Power Connections section.
Note: The AC-EXO-X-KIT must be powered from both units in order for
complete operation.
2 Connect the transmitter’s
Opt. Fiber LC / Tx
port to the receiver’s
Opt. Fiber LC / Rx
port with a
simplex multimode fiber optic cable terminated with LC connectors.
3 Connect the HDMI source device to the
HDMI In
port on the transmitter with an HDMI cable.
4 Connect the HDMI output device to the
HDMI Out 1
port on the receiver with an HDMI cable.
Downscaled Outputs
Both the
HDMI Loop Out
port on the transmitter and the
HDMI Out 2
port on the receiver
automatically downscale 4K video signals to 1080p. This allows legacy devices, such as an AVR or
1080p display, to play the same source content without having to downgrade the entire system’s
capabilities.
The diagram below illustrates an example of utilizing both downscaled outputs with a 1080p legacy
display on the
Scaled HDMI Out 2
port on the receiver.
This setup is ideal for installations with an HDMI 2.1 display and up to 2 legacy devices.
Connect all the devices in the system using the previous steps outlined above. Ensure the HDMI 2.1
display is connected to the receiver’s
HDMI Out 1
port.

Settings and Functionalities
EDID Management (Transmitter)
The transmitter (AC-EXO-X-T) comes equipped with dipswitches located underneath the device for
selecting an EDID.
Dipswitches 1, 2, 3, and 4 correspond to the EDID jumper settings. Flip the dipswitches up (“on” or “1”)
or down (“off” or “0”) to select the corresponding EDID setting.
AC-EXO-X-T Bottom Panel
Test Pattern
The transmitter can generate a color bar test pattern using dipswitch 5. Flip the dipswitch up (“on” or
“1”) to generate a color bar test pattern.
Scaler Settings
By default, the HDMI Loop Out port on the transmitter and the HDMI Out 2 port on the receiver both
automatically downscale 8K video signals to 4K or 1080p. The HDMI Loop Out port on the transmitter
can be set to 4K passthrough by flipping dipswitch 6 up to the “on” or “1” position.

Warranty
The Basics
AVPro Edge warranties its products that are purchased from all authorized AVPro Edge resellers or
direct purchases. Products are guaranteed to be free from manufacturing defects and are of sound
physical and electronic condition.
AVPro Edge has developed a warranty that anyone can get behind. We really wanted to take all the
“red tape” out of a warranty and just make it simple. Our 10 Year No BS Warranty hinges on 3
elements:
• If you are having trouble, call us. We will attempt to troubleshoot your issue over the phone.
• If it’s broken, we will replace it in advance on our dime and we’ll also cover the return shipping.
Repair is an option too, but it’s YOUR call.
• We know you know what you are doing. We will not make you go through unnecessary steps
to troubleshoot an extender…
Coverage Details
AVPro Edge will replace or repair (at customer choice) the defective product. If the product is out of
stock or on backorder it can either be replaced with a comparable product of equal value/feature set
(if available) or repaired.
Your warranty begins at receipt of product (as confirmed by shipping firm tracking). If tracking
information is unavailable for any reason, the warranty will commence 30 days ARO (After Receipt of
Order). The warranty coverage continues for 10 years.
Red Tape
AVPro Edge is not responsible for untraceable purchases or those that were made out side of an
authorized channel.
If we conclude that a product or serial number has been tampered with as identified by warranty seal
or physical examination, the warranty will be void. Additionally, excessive physical damage (beyond
normal wear & tear) the warranty may be voided or prorated based on the extent of the damage as
examined by an AVPro Edge representative.
Damage caused by “acts of God” are not covered. They can include natural disasters, power surges,
storms, earthquakes, tornadoes, sink holes, typhoons, tidal waves, hurricanes, or any other
uncontrollable event related to nature.
Damage caused by incorrect installation will not be covered. Incorrect power supply, inadequate
cooling, improper cabling, inadequate protection, and static discharge are examples of this.
